The arrival of the Longobards in Italy represents one of the most significant periods of the Early Middle Ages. Such arrival had social and political implications, particularly in relation to cultural admixture with local communities. One way to understand this is through the reconstruction of paleodiet via stable isotope analysis. So far, the subsistence strategy of this population in central Italy remains poorly explored. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses are presented here on a total of 19 human bone collagen samples from the cemetery of Castel Trosino. This isotopic investigation contributes to the dietary reconstruction of Early Medieval populations in Italy, providing a crucial isotopic dataset for an area still poorly explored.
伦巴德人抵达意大利是中世纪早期最重要的时期之一。这种抵达具有社会和政治影响,特别是在与当地社区的文化融合方面。理解这一点的一种方法是通过稳定同位素分析来重建古饮食。到目前为止,意大利中部这一人群的生存策略仍未得到充分探索。本文对来自特罗西诺城堡墓地的总共19份人类骨胶原样本进行了稳定碳和氮同位素分析。这项同位素研究有助于意大利中世纪早期人群的饮食重建,为一个仍未得到充分探索的地区提供了关键的同位素数据集。
